INTRODUCTION TO AMATAI NO SHUGO-RYU



  • Introduction to Amatai No Shugo-ryu



    Amatai no Shugo-ryu (Multitude of Dragons School) is a unique martial art which combines techniques of a number of Budo/martial art forms (amatai no Shugo or a multitude of dragons); yet, a the same time, through the study and application of the principles of Bushido, one forms a strong spiritual sense of love, peace, and harmony. It is art, beautiful and flowing it is Budo, powerful and effective.

    Some people may be drawn to Amatai no Shugo-ryu because of one of those two aspects or for one or more of the “dragons”; yet, after a period of serious practice one is likely to discover that all of the elements and all of the “dragons” are interconnected. The spiritual sense is discovered through practice of technique and technique is improved through the development of the spiritual sense.

    Amatai no Shugo-ryu is a contemporary Japanese martial art combining:

    · Traditional Budo technique
    · Traditional Budo values
    · Traditional Bushido thought with modern applications
    · Traditional Japanese and Asian philosophy and thought with modern applications
    · Traditional Japanese culture

    It is a non-competitive art which offers a model for self-defense, conflict management and resolution, as well as for both personal and social responsibility.
